All Aboard!
When I hear the word platform I think about a train station where all the
people gather just before they step onto the train that will take them on a
journey. Most of the people have a final destination in mind although
there are always those that are just going along for the ride. But, the
platform is that secure place that allows travelers to double check where
they are going just before they get rolling.
Likewise, a political platform is that firm foundation that a political party
has agreed to at its yearly convention. It contains specific key
principles and core values that are designed in a committee and then agreed on
at a state convention by the delegates. These key principles and core
values then become 'tierra firma' for that political party which
allows voters to know what platform they will be standing on before the
political train takes off on the journey that will affect their livelihoods and
their future.
I attended the Republican Convention this year as a delegate and I was very
impressed with the New Mexico Republican Platform. May I suggest you
google it right now, as well as the New Mexico Democrat Platform, and then
compare the two. Which platform do you believe contains specific
principles and core values that will bring New Mexicans stability, security,
and success? If each state adopts those specific principles and core values,
and votes in politicians who are held to account, do you think America might
get back on track?
So, which foundation will you choose on Election Day? When the newly
elected politicians holler, “All aboard!”, I think we all want to know
that we are on the right platform heading in the right direction toward
a prosperous future for our families, our fellow Citizens, and the
United States of America. Know your State's Party Platform and vote wisely!
